Byzantium’s Garden
As I look upon the changing season,
The variety of colors from umber’s rich
Brown, fertile soil, going into hiatus for reason
Of the cold, cooling the ground, coloring a stitch
Of amber, yellow, gold, yellowish green,
All turning into nutrients for a fallow lean
Land in need of Amaranth to renew
Its vigor to produce a wonderland
After hibernation in winter, a review
Of the upcoming Byzantium garland
Of a garden, waiting, waiting patiently
For the right circumstance to grow wildly
In a rush to present faery
Flowers, a rainbow of colored plants,
Heliotrope, lilies, roses, carnations, covertly
Awaiting the cooling spring springing, like cats,
Into view grabbing your attention
By tuning the scene into an idyllic
Creation, where reverence to beautification
Is necessary for the purification
Of a heart filled with desperation
To be awakened into the translucence
Of a world enveloped in nacre opulence.
An opulence filled with Faith’s gratification.
